Yes the block will fit and work, but its and older block. Tolerances might not be as tight for emission type stuff. Basically you have to get it to pass the 2001 emission requirements on an older engine. I guess it can be done, but generally you always go to a same year or newer engine.

Oh another thing you need to look at is the accessary mounts. These do change from 4.0 to 4.0 depending on what they came in. I just recently bought a 2004 4.0 for my '
95 xj. It has 19,000 miles on it. A great find, but it doesn't fit my XJ, because the mounting hole for the alternator and a/c are different. So beware.
